hideaway


we smiled at our familiar
so sure of ourselves
sitting in early summer
face to face around a
wobbly glass-frosted table top

we found comfort in cigarettes

she knew I always had
to have one when with her
I knew she’d join me

and through puffs of wanting

I sat in secret sipping sin
lapping up the lapis in her eyes
they tumbled over and around in
fickle chatter parting syllables

onto my lap

aimlessly burning it
while my legs held onto the air

fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows

(Ani DiFranco)

Oh, I remember this!  And look at what I see!  A whole new reason to smile!  Thanks for the repost, Maree...I always did like this one!

Hi Maree...I'm glad you didn't take out my favorite part...."lapping up the lapis in her eyes".  I liked it before, and still do!  Hugs!

from your pen. I have missed you!

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Smooth and good, and oh so erotic without being flamboyant. I like this a lot.

What escapes from the erogenous zone of your mind has a heat that I'm well acquainted with. Fire comes to mind. Soft spoken flames of wanting.

Oh, and I love the pic.
